Consumer Risk from Piracy in Poland

This report by professor Paul A. Watters examines the cybersecurity risks Polish consumers face when using digital piracy websites, including peer-to-peer (P2P) sites, illegal streaming platforms, fraudulent websites, and IPTV services. It aims to provide a thorough risk assessment by comparing these piracy sites to mainstream websites. The study also explores the broader implications of digital piracy, such as social, economic, and legal consequences, and outlines potential solutions like regulatory reforms, enhanced law enforcement capabilities, and consumer education initiatives to mitigate these risks.
